"John..." Rory calls out John's name several times behind him, but he doesn't have any reaction at all.
It isn't until Rory walks to him and waves her hand in front of his eyes that John finally regains his senses. He looks at Rory with surprise and tries to return to his normal state. "What's wrong?"
"I want to ask you a question. Why have you been absent-minded all day?" He has never been like this before. Could it be that something special happens when John goes to find that woman today?
John says with a smile, "Rory, I'm just think about something. Nothing special has happened."
He speaks in a casual manner, but Rory listens to his every word with great concentration. She can't help wondering if he is thinking about that woman.
Since when does that woman begin to occupy his mind?
"John, I feel a little bored recently. Why don't we take a trip?" Rory remembers what the director has said to her, so this idea suddenly pops up in her mind. As long as they go on a trip together, their relationship will improve by leaps and bounds. Feeling that their relationship just stays the same without any development, she really wants to know what is on his mind.
Rory looks at him with anticipation. However, John says, "I can't go on a trip recently, because I suffer from severe headache from time to time. If I travel with you, I'm afraid that something unexpected might happen. I can have a trip with you a few days later. Is that okay?"
Hearing this, Rory is utterly disappointed. However, what he says makes sense. He should attach greater importance to his physical condition.
"I see. Take good care of yourself first. We'll have a trip after you recover." After thinking it through, she becomes delighted again. With a bright smile, she walks to the other side in a lively manner. But when turning the corner, she can't help pouting.
This is the first time that John rejects her request without hesitation. He used to cherish her the most and agree to any request raised by her. But now, he seems to have his own opinion. Or is she thinking too much?
As a result, both of them are in low spirits in the orphanage today.
When seeing Rory's receding figure, John is a little apologetic. That's because it is out of his expectation that he turns down her request.
One thing he doesn't want to admit is that he is reluctant to be too far away from Miya. He even has the urge to go back and find her. When this thought strikes him, he is frightened.
What kind of magic does that woman use on him? Why does he keep thinking about her when he closes his eyes? Confusion and distress surge through him. He hates this feeling, but he can't control it.
He keeps rubbing his temples. For the first time, he feels a little anxious and even overwhelmed.
At this moment, the director appears in front of him.
"What exactly happened to you recently? You were still in a good state before the discussion. Remember to take the medicine I prepared for you on time."
